The hubei daily news (reporter hua) has learned from the provincial agricultural rural department and the provincial agricultural institute that in recent years there has been a rapid development in the country's watermelon breeding technology, and that 1. 2 million acres of watermelon in my province are mainly of national origin, of which 100,000 acres of fine watermelon are largely of domestic choice。
My country is the largest producer and consumer of watermelon in the world, but the seed of a melon has been dependent on imports in the past。
Researcher of the crops research institute of the provincial institute of agriculture and director of the wuhan integrated pilot station of the national system of industrial technology for west melon, dairay, explained that, at the time of the emergence of watermelon facilities such as the sheds, most of the high-end watermelon varieties suitable for plant cultivation were imported from south korea, japan and our taiwan region, such as the very early and sophisticated early spring red jade, which was introduced from japan; the juicy and juicy phoenix, which was introduced from the taiwan region; and the small seedless watermelon honey and ink children, which were introduced from foreign pre-dating companies. During that time, the majority of the country's watermelon species were imported, as was the case at cai dian, the largest gift base in our province。
In the last decade or so, there has been a rapid increase in the cultivation of watermelons in the country. According to the department of agriculture and rural affairs, my province currently has about 1. 2 million acres of watermelon, producing 3 million tons, mainly of national produce。
Dei yi said that early childhood 8424 and meidu, among other species, are the species of watermelon chosen for our own development, which dominates the southern shed. I have managed to grow nearly 100,000 acres of watermelon, mostly of domestic choice. In recent years, with the integration of the rural brigades, the tourism industry has become increasingly popular with the operators, and the scale of the cultivation of the marooned watermelons has risen sharply. There are many species selected for cranium cultivation, including yellow, red and orange, such as the beijing academy of agroforestry no. 1 in beijing, 1k in kyumei, the zhengzhou school of fruit tree no. 1 in chengzhou, and the orange treasure no. 2 in hubei province。
“in the 1990s, imported watermelon varieties, such as the japanese chishima star, were growing a third of the area in official lake.” the director of the professional cooperative for the cultivation of watermelons in zhongxiang city has written that more than 30,000 acres of watermelons are now mostly good and good, while the only species imported abroad are small fruit-cranchies without seeds from the company, with only two acres。
“this year, more than 8,000 acres of watermelon, all of which are early 8424 and u. S. Dollars, are produced over 10,000 dollars.” according to liu wei, a student from the village of bihai, the village tried to plant 10 acres of watermelon for taiwan farmers between 2010 and 2011, but was generally sweet and hard fruit. For more than a decade there was no further cultivation of imported watermelon varieties。
In recent years, the provincial agricultural institute has introduced several watermelon-quality varieties, which are grown on a certain scale in the province and are recognized by the market. Orange 2 is about three pounds of small watermelon with high sugar content and a good taste, with higher economic benefits than conventional watermelon varieties. Medium fruit spring is 100 early-cooked varieties, about 10 pounds of individual watermelon, and juicy fruit. The blacksa are uniquely colored, tasteful, and expensive in all the bases。
